Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Reading an illustrated version of “On Tyranny” in advance of @timothysnyder.bsky.social ‘s talk in Portland tonight, as the richest army in the world races through my city terrorizing people under the guise of border control. Feeling sick to my stomach.
Drawing of a log cabin with men crawling out of the grown and running with guns. The title reads “Be wary of paramilitaries.” The text reads “When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.”

A little rain didn’t keep Portlanders from enjoying our “PJs and Pastries Protest” of ICE!

I was reminded how much these protests are as much about expressing solidarity and community as they are about expressing opposition and resistance.

I changed my course content from the published description and from the syllabus almost every year in response to new data, political changes, my own education. This is *exactly* about academic freedom. #academicsky
A selection from the letter from TAMU president: Our students use the published information In the course catalog to make important decisions about the Courses they take in pursuit of their degrees. . . This Isn’t about academic freedom, It’s about academic responsibility.
